Application liledl'ebruary 15, 190,0. Serial No. 5,301. (No model.) i

To @ZZ wtontcio' may concern:

Be it known that we, ALEXANDER GVEISE and ALBERT F.DIEGLEY,citizens of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cool: and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Vindow-Extracting Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

Our invent-ion relates to improvements in window-extracting apparatus in which the sash are swung from the frame into the room, the object being to facilitate the cleaning or repairing of the windows. We attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- FigureV 1 is a closed window in perspective, showing the location ready for use of the different parts of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the upper and lower sash attached together and swung partially out of the frame. Fig. Sis the hinge. Fig. 4E is the hinge-lug screwed into a portion of the lower sash. Fig. 5 is the suspense peg and lug. Fig. 6 is the jamb-plate. Fig. 7 is the stop button and plate.

Like letters indicate similar parts through out the several views,

In detail, cris the frame. a is the j'amb. b, b', and h2 are the stops. c, c', and c are the parting-strips, and c and c are the upper and lower sash, respectively. The stop b is held in place b'y means of the stop-buttons gat each end. This button extends through the stop b' and through the stop-plate 7L, attached to the outer surface thereof, thence through Ythe jamb-plate and into the pocket in the jamb a. The headj of the stop-buttons g is oval-shaped and of a size to correspond with the shape and dimensions of the port 7c in the jamb-plate i, andthe shank Z of the button g is of such scant length that when the button g is turned at right angles with the port k the stop b is drawn up snugly and held securely in place, as shown by the broken lines in Fig. @,but capable of being quickly released and removedwhen occasion requires.

m is what we term the suspense-lug, which is provided with the elongated eye n and which is attached by means of ordinaryscrews to the upper sash c, and o is what we term the suspense-peg, which has a lla-ring base to facilitate fastening by means of ordinary `a screw-point and the head of which forms a flange and is adapted to be screwed into the sash e', one near the upper and another near the lower end, as shown.

q is the hinge, one leaf r of which is pro vided with the usual 'screw-holes and the other leaf s is preferably of ornamental design and provided with slots t t, which are adapted to engage with the shank of the hingelug p. One of these hinges is screwed to the stop b above each of the hinge-lugs p a suiiicient distance to afford clearance of the stop u, when the sash, by means of the lugs p p, should be hung upon the leaf s s of the hinges q q. The hinges may, if desired, be permaa nently attached to the sash and the hingelugs screwed into the stop. The leaf s of the hinge is provided with the slot t at each end to facilitate its use in right and left position. The parting-strip c2 is permanently held in place Vby means of ordinary brads in the usual Way, while the lower portion c is held in place by means of the upper and lower sash.

The usual or preferable mode of operating our apparatus is as follows: The stop-buttons g are released and the stop b removed, the sash e is then raised and hung upon the hinges q q, the sash e' is then swung slightly ajar, the upper sash c is pulled down, and the parting-strip c' is removed, after which the sash e is returned and the upper sash e is pulled down, so that Ithe suspense-lugs 'm m properly engage with the pegs o 0, and both sashes so secured together can then be swung so as to present the outer surface of the window to the operator stationed in the room. To return the sash the inverse order of those steps is observed. The detachable leaf of the hinge is laid back upon the stop to permit passage of the lugs.

Owing to the obvious simplicity of our apparatus the particular industrial utility attributable to it is the facility with which the IOO different, parts may be attached and operated upon any old window, the only change nec-` essary to be made in the usual construction of window, old or new, being the cutting of4 the stop and parting-strip,` as above set forth. Having described our invention, whatwe claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is the following:

l. In a window-extracting apparatusthe. combination lwith the frame and sash ofa number of hinges each formed of a perma nently-secured leaf and aportable leaf pro.

vided with a slot, a similar number'of lugs adapted to portably secure said slotted leaf and a number of perforated lugs secured toone of said sash and corresponding pegs securedito the other of said sash and adaptedn to,I engage with each other and hold said sash together, said hinges, lugs and pegs being 3 relatively so arranged upon said frame and sashthat when the sash'are vertically brought f together to clearthe horizon tal stop the hinges become operatively formed and both sash Ethestopzandrjamb to secure and remove the stop, substantially as described.
